...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for southeastern Pennsylvania and much of New
  Jersey.

* From Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening

* Showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop around midday
  and continue through the afternoon and evening hours. Periods of
  heavy rain can be expected with areas of 1 to 2 inches, with
  local amounts up to 5 inches possible. These rainfall totals may
  occur in a short amount of time, and could lead to flash
  flooding.

* The risk of flash flooding is highest in urbanized and low-
  lying areas. Rapid rises on small creeks and streams are
  possible.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash
flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to
occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters
may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams
and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.

Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location
that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash
flood warning is issued for your area.
